33. Nevada

A lot of retirees end up settling down in Nevada. The state is pretty generous when it comes to taxes and doesn't even have an income tax. That may be because the state makes a lot of revenue off casinos (Las Vegas is in Nevada). Around 2.9 million people live in Nevada. Of those, 478,500 people are 65 or older, which is a pretty large percentage. Sales tax is around 6.85%.

However, Nevada is mostly desert, meaning you have to really enjoy the landscape because there isn't much else. Temperatures can also get pretty warm in the summer and cold in the winter.
